Livery of a P-38J of 364 FG in March 1944

[gilles collaveri]

Good morning all

To make an illustration for an article about Paul Miller who belly landed his P-38J in France on 5 March 1944 near the Pyrénées mountains, I would like to know what could have been the livery of his P-38.

what we know for sure :

364 Fighter group
aircraft serial number : 42-67745
squadron code : 5E

individual letter unknown.

I could see several pictures with P-38 and I was told that many P-38J du 364th F.G had a specific livery with the standard olive drab/neutral grey scheme, but with the nose bare metal, with a white line separating this area, so that it looks like a "droop snoot" . This can be seen indeed on many pictures.

I wonder what was on the tail. some P-38 had a big square, some had a circle, some had the individual letter, this is an unknown area to me.

If you can help me on this, it will be very appreciated.

All best

Gilles
